Chapter 3, Problem 80P
The data set in Table 3.12 is based on 214 children with acute otitis media (otitis media with effusion, or OME) who participated in a randomized clinical trial [13], Each child had OME at the beginning of the study in either one (unilateral cases) or both (bilateral cases) ears and was randomly assigned to receive a 14-day course of one of two antibiotics, either cefaclor (CEF) or amoxicillin (AMO). The data here concern the 203 children whose middle-ear status was determined during a 14-day follow-up visit. The data in Table 3.12 are presented in data set EAR.DAT (at www I .cengagebrain.com).
The investigators recorded the ages of the children because they felt this might be an important factor in determining outcome. Were they right? Try to express your results in terms of RR.

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 90% confidence, the population proportion of adults who support labeling
legislation for genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Her estimate must be accurate within 4% of the true proportion.

(b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 65% of the respondents said they support
labeling legislation for GMOs.

- Spam filters are built on principles similar to those used in logistic regression. We fit a probability that each message is spam or not spam. We have several variables for each email. Here are a few: to_multiple=1 if there are multiple recipients, winner=1 if the word 'winner' appears in the subject line, format=1 if the email is poorly formatted, re_subj=1 if "re" appears in the subject line. A logistic model was fit to a dataset with the following output: Estimate SE Z Pr(>|Z|) (Intercept) -0.8161 0.086 -9.4895 0 to_multiple -2.5651 0.3052 -8.4047 0 winner 1.5801 0.3156 5.0067 0 format -0.1528 0.1136 -1.3451 0.1786 re_subj -2.8401 0.363 -7.824 0 (a) Write down the model using the coefficients from the model fit.log_odds(spam) = -0.8161 + -2.5651 + to_multiple + 1.5801 winner + -0.1528 format + -2.8401 re_subj(b) Suppose we have an observation where to_multiple=0, winner=1, format=0, and re_subj=0.
